4月27號是國際獸醫節，很多人以為獸醫是一個與可愛動物為伍的夢幻工作，但根據統計，美國獸醫自殺的比例，是其他醫護人員的兩倍！其實不只是獸醫，每個人都有機會用英文聊到自己工作辛苦的地方，今天談到的英文就很適合學起來，聊工作的時候派上用場。就來看到我改寫自紐約郵報的一篇報導。

Being a veterinarian is a ruff job.

Veterinarians are two times more likely to die by suicide than [any other] medical profession and female veterinarians at a higher rate than male veterinarians.

Veterinarians rarely get to paws.

“Almost the entire profession is made up of people who are very high achieving, type-A driven personalities who will pour 110% of themselves and their heart and soul, into their work,” This leaves people “feeling like a failure at work because you’re always there and then there’s a pressure from home, specifically mom guilt.”

Tough clients — made worse by social media

Veterinary bills can be expensive but that’s not the vet’s fault, and several clients don’t know that.

“We have clients that are belligerent about their vet bills”

Some clients also accuse vets of malpractice, and go so far as to post about the veterinarians on social media.
